The Evil Lady of Nimarya is a massive, safe nation, ruled by General Nim with an iron fist, and remarkable for its lack of airports, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.442 billion Nimaryans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Magicality. The average income tax rate is 84.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Nimaryan economy, worth 250 trillion potato peels a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,667 potato peels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, the police have been known to wiretap confessional boxes, and many are questioning General Nim wearing an Eckie-Ecola baseball cap during a keynote speech. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nimarya's national animal is the chicken, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cult of Nim.

Nimarya is ranked 187,183^rd in the world and 6,718^th in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -118.47 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
